Back up

On the MHN Server

sudo su -
supervisorctl stop all
mongodump  --db hpfeeds
mongodump  --db mnemosyne

supervisorctl start all

Copy mhn-backup.tar.gz somewhere safe.

Install MHN using the install.sh mentioned in the main README.

Then:

sudo su -
supervisorctl stop all
tar zxvf mhn-backup.tar.gz
cp mhn.db /opt/mhn/server/mhn.db

for FILE in dump/mnemosyne/*.bson;
do 
    mongorestore --drop --db mnemosyne "$FILE"
done

for FILE in dump/hpfeeds/*.bson;
do 
    mongorestore --drop --db hpfeeds "$FILE"
done
